Babies Abound!

This week, I learned two of my girlfriends are also pregnant! One is due on April 30th, just 4 days after us; the other is due in late July. We're incredibly excited to be able to share our pregnancy ups and downs with our close friends. Also, I visited another good friend, Josie, yesterday and her 8 week old baby is doing really well. She loaned me some maternity clothes and a few books to help get me started (except on the books since I've ready gone through about 7 twins books).

As for the babies, they are the size of medium shrimp (3 inches long) and weigh nearly an ounce. Their Fingerprints have formed on thei tiny fingertips, their veins and organs are clearly visible through their still-thin skin, and their bodies are starting to catch up with their heads— which makes up just a third of their body size now. If baby A is indeed a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries.

I still feel great. I went to the gym 6 days this week and continue to do lots of cardio (not running...seems too weird) and some light weights like I used to. I'm also attending weekly yoga, but I wonder how that will evolve as my tummy gets bigger. I've put on a few pounds, but I still fit into my clothes and I don't think anyone can tell I'm growing.

Until next week....
